But then again, Franken is now a private citizen and the national news has lost interest in him. If the accusations had disappeared or turn out to be false or at a minimum misleading, I would expect it would get some coverage with someone like Rachael Maddow.

But the moment he moves back into the national spotlight, you can be certain if the accusations haven't been cleared or explained sufficiently, the national media will pick up where they left off. And until he clears himself of the accusations, we don't need that sideshow in a Presidential Primary or General Election. When he has ... I would be happy to see him run for anything he wants.
